Abra only reliably learns new moves once it evolves into Kadabra at level 16 in the main series games, since as a base form it usually knows only Teleport (and sometimes one extra move depending on the game).

Core answer

  • In most mainline Pokémon games, Abra:
    • Starts with Teleport (often as its only move).
    • Does not gain meaningful level‑up moves until it evolves into Kadabra at level 16.
  • Once it becomes Kadabra at level 16, it immediately gains access to attacking moves like Confusion by level‑up, and then more Psychic‑type moves as it continues to level.
